London 23 April 2008. Hallmark (East Midlands) Ltd, a leading insurance intermediary in Derbyshire and Leicestershire, has launched a new service to simplify the claims process for its customers.

The company has teamed up with offsite data storage provider MyGlobalSafe.com to create individual digital safes hosted in a highly secure online environment for each customer.

Nick Charles, Managing Director at MyGlobalSafe.com said, “Processing a claim can be a time consuming business especially if you can’t find the policy or the receipts. In a worst-case scenario these documents may have been destroyed in a flood or fire. Now, Hallmark customers can make use of our digital storage services, protected with military encryption, to make sure that whatever happens, they’ll have quick and guaranteed access to all the papers they need to make a claim.”

We believe this product will give both clients and insurers the means to ensure the swift settlement of claims. It enables fair settlement to be made based on documentary evidence, which is instantly available through the system.
